7th Grade - Building NYC

In seventh grade, our students are exploring:
Engineering & Architecture: What are the essential engineering principles that allow skyscrapers to be strong, efficient, tall & aesthetically pleasing?
Responsible Urban Development: How can new urban development meet the needs of a community?
We started the unit by challenging them to work collaboratively to build skyscraper models of a skyscraper. We looked for stability, accuracy and teamwork - we were very impressed with the outcome!
